Things are not going well in LA. The two main fires still burn out of control with no end in sight for when they might be contained. It is now aiming to be the costliest fire in US history. Insured losses now are at least 20 billion and that does not include UNINSURED losses! Damage is approaching 30,000 acres and going and now they are heading out into regions of territory far more difficult for firefighters to manage.
Close to 200,000 people are now under evacuation orders, at least ten people are already known dead, some of the priciest real estate has been destroyed, with thousands of home structures destroyed at an average cost of 3 million. Total losses could end up near 60 billion dollars.
Worse, as I follow the fire, next could be in danger the Griffith Observatory, much of the Hollywood studio movie district, the Bel Air region west of Beverly Hills containing the nicest homes including the most expensive home in the world where in the 1960s they shot The Beverly Hillbillies as their supposed home.
Malibu has been gutted and if the fire spreads further, it could destroy the region now the Malibu Park which was once the Fox Movie Ranch where they shot TV shows like M*A*S*H, Kung Fu and many other movies and TV shows. The entire movie and TV industry is at risk. The only good news is that it appears that the worst of the Santa Anna Winds have passed and are dying down.
